Patent number: 8181715Abstract: A power tool according to the invention includes a dynamic vibration reducer having a body, a weight and elastic elements. The body is formed by a plurality of cylindrical members which are coaxially disposed to face each other. The elastic elements exert biasing forces on the cylindrical members such that the cylindrical members are held apart from each other. The cylindrical members are fixed to the tool body side under the biasing forces of the elastic elements. Venting members for forced vibration are provided on the cylindrical members and protrude radially outward from the cylindrical members, respectively. The venting members are mounted by inserting into venting member mounting parts on the tool body side in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical members. At least one of the venting members can move with respect to the cylindrical member in the longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2009Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Shinya Bito, Takuro Konishi

Patent number: 7549484Abstract: A power tool includes a mode switching device that includes a mode switching member turned by manual operation, a linearly moving driven-side member and a mode switching mechanism actuated by linear motion of the driven-side member. The actuating member is disposed on the mode switching member such that the initial position of the actuating member is located in a position displaced in a radial direction from the rotation axis of the mode switching member. When the mode switching member is turned, the actuating member revolves in a circular arc movement in contact with the driven-side member to linearly move the driven-side member. The actuating member is structured to move radially inward of the mode switching member from the initial position toward the rotation axis of the mode switching member with respect to the mode switching member.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2007Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Junichi Iwakami, Shinya Bito
